Brian Eugene Donham of Hensley, Arkansas was born January 6, 1967 at Little Rock, the son of the late Capt. Everett Eugene Donham and Jean Marie Pointer Donham Mathews.  He was a member of Fairview Missionary Baptist Church and manager at Purcel Tire and Service Center.  Anyone who knew Brian, knew he was very proud to have served in the United States Marine Corps.  He was a Patriot and a Marine through and through…."OORAH".  He also enjoyed hunting and fishing, and was a member of Kelt Creek Hunting Club. He enjoyed old trucks and mud racing as well.  He was an accomplished "pitmaster" and really enjoyed using his smoker to cook massive amounts of food to feed his family and friends.  With all of his work and hobbies, his entire life revolved around his family.  Brian and his wife Stacey weren't just husband and wife for the past 37 years, they truly were best friends.  Each one was dedicated to making the others life better.  He was so proud of his children and unapologetically spoiled his grandkids rotten.

Brian died Thursday, October 3, 2024 at John L. McClellan V.A. Hospital in Little Rock, after a courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 57.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his step-father, Albert Mathews; brother, David Donham; niece, Staci Wilkerson; brother-in-law, Mike Randolph.
